My Design Team Card for Glitter Geeks...

Hello lovelies,

Wow Friday soon comes around!

Today is Good Friday so what better theme to have for the

Glitter Geeks

challenge than 'Easter'.

I have made my card using the

Polkadoodles Sugarplum Daisy CD

I wanted my card to be for an 'Easter' Birthday so I think the bunny on the flower is just right for this!

I have used glossy accents and dew drops on the petals. I hope you like this card.

I look forward to seeing your creations for the Easter Challenge at the Glitter Geeks.

Happy Easter to you all,

have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love

My Polkadoodles DT Card.......

Hello lovelies,

It's that time of the week again which means another challenge over at the

Polkadoodles Challenge Blog

The theme for this week is

'Big Birthday'

so we need to see those creations with a big number on them!

For my card I have used the

Polkadoodles All Around & Everywhere CD

I have used a

Marianne Design Creatable LR0118

I have used Vintage Photo distress ink to ink all the edges. I've used a mixture of flowers and flower trim, a doily, lace, star pin, ribbon, bling, dew drops and pearls.

I wanted the '50' to be discreet so I thought popping it onto a tag hidden into a pocket was a good idea!

I hope you like the 'Big Birthday' card. I would love to see your creations for this, don't forget to pop over to the

Polkadoodles Challenge Blog

to see what the rest of the design team have made!

The top 3 winners of this challenge will also receive a copy of the fabulous

Polkadoodles Sugarplum Daisy CD

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love

DT Card for Emma's Crafty Challenge

Hello lovelies,

wow another month has flown by so quickly!

I hope you are all looking forward to Easter and lots of chocolate! LOL

With this in mind.....we have another challenge over at

Emma's Crafty Challenge 

sponsored by

Crafter's Companion

with the theme of...............

Chocolate!

Everything on your project must be chocolate related....now this is a theme I loved and it would have been rude not to eat some chocolate while crafting this theme!LOL

I made this using......

Kanban Bella Mini Damask Chocolate background card/Kanban Bella Floral Damask Chocolate background card/Kanban Bella Coffee Shop Delights Chocolate papercraft toppers/Kanban Bella Afternoon Cuppa Chocolate papercraft toppers/Organza ribbons in two co-ordinating colours/Decorative Button/Card Candi

How to make......

Score the mini damask card for your blank. Cut floral damask so a square fits to the right of the card.

Attach one of your ribbons to the left of the card. Make a triple bow and glue at the top and add the button to the centre.

Attach the other ribbon to the square card as shown so it looks ruffled.

Pop out the toppers and greeting and use foam pads to attach.

Finish with Candi in the bottom right corner of the card.

Looking at this card just makes you want to grab a bar of chocolate or delve into a slice of cake!

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love
